Privat﻿e practice counseling

Does your child or teen struggle with behavior or academic issues at school?

Do the teachers really understand what your child or teen needs?

Has the school principal or vice principal given up on your child or teen ever being able to change?

Has your teen created a reputation that keeps teachers from seeing the changes he/she wants to make?

I have been a classroom teacher and ﻿school counselor and, now, a family therapist with a systemic focus on school issues. I have written four books on using a solution-focused approach on school campuses, and have had the opportunity to speak directly to schools and educators numerous times over the past twenty years.

I offer on-campus consulting for behaviorally or academically challenged students in grades 1-12. Visiting the school allows me to understand the system involved in the client's life, and meet face-to-face with teachers so we can progress together. My success rate with this approach is 96%. It typically takes one visit on campus to meet with administrators, teachers, and the student to create a new context that can make a huge difference in your student's success at school. If you have tried everything else to help your son or daughter be successful and it hasn't worked, this new approach offers an approach that is very different in its application and impact. I invite you to call me.
